Do you keep spare tubeless tyres at home?

When I rode with regular tyres + tubes, I always kept spare tubes around. Tubes are cheap and the likelihood of needing to replace tyre when I had a flat was low. When I did need a new tyre, I'd go to the LBS and pick one up.

But now that I'm running tubeless, I'm wondering if I shouldn't keep some spare tyres on hand around the house. Trouble is keeping extra tyres around the house is a lot more expensive than keeping extra tubes around the house. But...

Thanks to reading the threads here I'm seeing some tubeless tyres I'd like to try out - like the pirelli cinturato - and I can only find them online. So this would involve an investment of tyres sitting around the house that might get used in 100k, or 5,000k, depending on when the tyres on my bike are no longer usable.

What do you, my fellow tubeless riders, do? Keep a stash of tyres on hand? Use Amazon Prime so you get your new tyres overnight and not worry about it? Other?
